LOUIS SANDERS, OF BROOKLYN, AND HARRY A. SANDERS, OF NEW YORK,

WAISTNBELT BUCKLE.

SPECFlCATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 334,901, dated January 26, 1886.

Application filed November 17, 1885. Serial No. 183,100.

To all whom z' may concern,.-

Be it known that we, Louis SANnnRs, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, and HARRY A. SANDRRs, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in VVaist-Belt Buckles, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of the specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a front elevation of our irnproved waist-belt buckle and the adjacent ends of a waist-belt shown unbuckled. Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view of the same shown buckled. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the buckle.

The object of this invention is to provide waistbelt buckles constructed in such a manner that they can be readily adjusted upon the belt, and will connect the ends of the belt firmly and securely.

The invention consists-in the construction and combination of the various parts of the buckle, as will be hereinafter fully described.

A represents the buckle, upon the end edges ofthe middle part of which are formed inwardly-projecting'lugs B. The lugs B are perforated to receive the pivots formed upon l the ends of the lever-clamp C, which is bent at right angles, and has teeth upon its engaging edge to take hold of the belt D and assist in holding the buckle in place upon the said belt. The other part of the clamp C is tapered and rounded, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. l. The plate of the buckle A, directly opposite the lever-clamp C, is concaved transversely upon the inner side to forni a groove, E, into which the belt is pressed by the engaging edge ofthe lever-clamp O to give the said clamp a firmer hold upon the said belt than is possible when the said beltis clamped against a flat surface. The formation of the groove E in the inner side of the buckle A produces a corresponding rise in the outer side of the said buckle, and thus gives the buckle a more finished appearance.

(No model.)

In the forward part of the buckle A are forlned two openings, producing two loops,F, to receive the tongues G of the belt D, and to the said forward part of the buckle, at the rear edges of the openings formed through tongues G of the belt D and confine the free ends of the said tongues in place.

The forward and rear parts of the buckle are made with a slight outward and forward bend, as shown in Fig. 2, so that the tongues G of the belt D can be passed through the loops F J readily, and will lie smoothly in place.

The tongues G are formed by cutting away the side edges of the end of the belt D, and forming a central slot in the said end, so that the belt will be in one piece, and can be made without sewing.

Having thus fully described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination, with the buckle A, having groove E in its inner side, having lugs B at its end edges, having pairs of loops F J in its front and rear parts, and provided with a pair of tongues, H, of the angular leverclamp O, substantially as herein shown and described.

2. The combination, with the buckle A, having groove E, lugs B, and loops F J, and the angularlever-clamp O, of the belt D, having a pair of tongues, G, upon its forward end, and formed in one piece therewith, as set forth.
